I was surprised to read details about Leonardo using “models” to paint the faces.


The Sistine Chapel ceiling, a series of frescoes painted by the legendary Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo, stands as one of the greatest works of art in world history.

He painted this on his back and such was his genius he apparently did not use models for the figures.

Yeah, it was kinda difficult to get models to stick to the ceiling. After about the third loss he gave up................😁
